Background

The aim of BEET is to bring together researchers working on bargaining and generate fruitful cross-fertilization with a multi-methodological emphasis. The workshop is organized annually, the location alternating between Europe and the US.

The first event was organized by Emin Karagözoğlu at Bilkent University in 2016. That first workshop brought together theorists and experimentalists working on bargaining. Here is the link to the first event's program.

In 2018, Matthew Backus and Emin Karagözoğlu co-organized the second event at Columbia University. With the second event, empirical researchers using naturally occurring data were added to the group.
